Title: GET BACK TO ME PLEASE

Dear Sir

Goodday to you. I write this mail in confidence, believing that it will reach you in high spirit and I also believe that you will maintain the level of confidence and trust that this business deal requires. I have been reliably informed that some people send fraudulent letters to unsuspecting individuals overseas making bogus claims. Please be informed that this is not such letters as my claims are true, authentic and verifiable.

I am Hajia (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha, wife of late Nigerian head of state- General Sanni Abacha. It is no news telling you that my family has been going through untold hardship since the 18th June 1998 when my husband died. We have not met before but fate catch up with while searching for a reliable and capable person who I could trust with this transaction.

Even now, our homes are under surveillance, worst of all, the Government has resorted to confiscating everything that has to do with my family.

Before the death of my husband, he ran among other business of his own, bureau de change, which was flourishing with every Government support. From the bureau de change business, which has now been clamped down by Nigeria Government, but before the closure, I was able to save USD$24,000,000.00 in cash. I tried to safeguard it in a security company here in Nigeria but couldn't. Through the help of a close family friend bless memories who works in a security company then, I delivered the USD$24 million and moved it out of Nigeria under the label of photographic materials to a security company Overseas.

For security reasons wouldn't mention the name of the country until I hear from you. In view of our condition here and the high interest rate the security company charges, the money could not be safe there. I would therefore need your honest assistance to move this fund from the Security Company to your nominated bank account. Once the money is safeguarded in your account, I would require your directives to enable me invest same in any viable business venture. If you accept this offer of assistance you are requested to contact me back. As soon as I receive your acceptance notice, I will immediately instruct my son mustapha to follow up.

He is in position to furnish you with the details, which includes; lodging code and clearance permit to enable you clear the consignment from the Security Company. Note that, you will be accorded with 30% of the total sum for your assistance. I dare you with faith and I promise you will ever be happy with your kind gesture.

Finally, you are requested to indicate your telephone and fax numbers to me for easier communication. While thanking you for your anticipated co-operation, I look forward in doing business with you in the nearest future.

Best regards.

Yours Truly,
Hajia Mariam Abacha.
